Perhaps one day you'll manage to post something about Israel that's not incorrect.
LOL -
And maybe one day the moderators will deal with those who deliberately post misleading information, deliberately politicize threads and deliberately discourage tourists instead of assisting them.
Shufaluff, first I will ask you to change your tone, otherwise I will have to report you to the moderator of this forum. If you have a psychological problem and cannot repress agressivity bouts, please seek medical advice.
As I said, it is nonsensical to advise a traveller to take the train between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv or the reverse, as the Jerusalem train station is extremely far from the center of town.
The sheruts leave from Harav Kook street in Jerusalem seven days a week. Others leave from near the central bus station, which is less practical for tourists who usually stay around the Old City.
On shabbat, some sheruts leave from Harav Kook street and others leave from the itnersection between Road 1 and Haneviim street, five minutes from Damascus Gate.
In Tel Aviv, the sheruts leave from behind the bus station, where you will also find sheruts covering the city of Tel Aviv and all its neighborhoods, including during shabbat. That's why it's more practical to take sheruts than wait for the Egged buses inside the central bus station,

If you were able to contain your contempt for me just long enough to enable you to actually read what is written in #1 and #2 of this thread you would understand that nobody has advised this or any other traveller to take the train.

No they don't, because they can't. Since the opening of the light rail, last August, the entire length of Jaffa Road from the Old City to the Mahaneh Yehuda market is closed to all other vehicles - cars, buses, taxis and sheruts. The light rail doesn't run on Shabbat and holidays, so there is no impediment to the shared taxis leaving from Harav Kook on Shabbat and holidays, which is exactly what they do.
Have you actually been in Jerusalem since last August?

Please report me too. Do you really think that the moderator would ban the people who actually give the relevant and accurate advice on this forum, even though they are insulted daily by ignorant and condescending bigots like you ?
I stand corrected. I am going to stand in the corner and be whipped for giving false information on the Thorn Tree website.
I made a mistake. I jumped to conclusions, and I apologize.
When I went out to lunch, next to the Jerusalem central bus station, I asked one of the sherut drivers there whether they depart from Zion Square (Harav Kook Street) on weekdays, and he said yes.
We learn something every day. We make mistakes, and we apologise for giving incorrect information.
catw: Which Central Bus Station are the sheruits behind. I Google mapped "Central Bus Station" and found there were two, an old (cross streets are Bnei Brack & Fein) and a new (corner of Sderot Har Tsiyon & Levinsky).I want to get this right and would like to have success in getting from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, touring Jerusalem and then getting back to Tel Aviv so I may check out Tel Aviv more.
If you have any other helpful advice to offer, that would be much appreciated. I am traveling solo, an American female (almost 40yo), and don't wish to upset anyone, cause problems or create a stir. I only desire to see & experience the beauty of Israel and get in touch with my family roots. I would like to dress and act with respect and would like your opinion and perhaps a link to a great website that would help me in choosing the right clothing and attitude to show respect and decorum.
Thank you for your time and help,
Celena
